275577 Kirk Eppler 2022‑05‑16 Maker of a skew rabbet?
Hey all

Wondering if anyone recognizes this 1-3/8” skew rabbet plane? Looks like
your normal molding plane, except there are no reliefs on the top edges.
The only mark I can find is a 18 on the back, and maybe a 110 to the left,
in the circle on the second pix.  The 11 is outside the red cloud.

I’ve checked Ohio, as the 110 could be part of an HIO, except they usually
marked theirs Ohio Tools on the toe. And the number doesn’t match

Auburn also jumped into the fray, as they made a 181 skew rabbet, except
theirs have the reliefs on the corners.  Even the wedge looks similar to
Auburn planes.

I am still looking for my Greenfield catalog.


Anyone have suggestions based on what you can see?

dropped by Saturday.
